How Long Does Gasoline Take to Deteriorate in the Fuel Tank?
1 Answers
Gasoline can deteriorate in one month. Here are the specific details about gasoline: 1. Composition: Gasoline is a hydrocarbon composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. 2. Sulfur Content: The sulfur content in gasoline is 10mg/kg; excessive sulfur can clog the GPF. 3. Emissions and Anti-Knock Properties: To meet emission standards and improve anti-knock properties, lead was added. However, due to its toxicity when released into the air, lead has been gradually replaced. Sulfur and lead are harmful to vehicles and the environment but can enhance gasoline stability. 4. Flammability: Gasoline is highly volatile and flammable; even a small spark can ignite gasoline vapor in the air. The rate of evaporation mainly depends on external temperature—higher temperatures lead to faster evaporation.
